Good to see the Duane back up on the board . A striking all scratch built model . We can learn so much from how ARH has gone about his techniques in building such large scale working models. Looking forward to more such builds from the Master. Dave Wooley

Once again such a wonderful build had moved onto page 2 , so I thought I'd bring this particular build back up the board again . The information and methodology in ARHs builds is very useful to the scratchbuilder and of course ARH is a master of the art of crafting model ships from next nothing out of what would be discarded material and producing amazing models . Dave Wooley

Hi Guys, Im still about, having Radioligy treatment at the moment, noticed this on the bottom of page 2.

Hi Ron Good to hear from you. I think this build like the other great builds of yours and Bill's should perhaps be permanently at the top of the board as your Duane build has so much to offer in information to the scratch builder that it would serve so much better as a permanent part of the board and not drift on to other pages. I hope this will be so. Dave Wooley

Glad to see you are doing ok, sir---Since you built the US Coast Guard Duane (one of the larger cutters) and Bill Waldorf just finished my( much smaller) US Coast Guard 83' WPB, perhaps they should be shown side by side as the 'long and short of it' during WW2---both did anti-sub work and my 83' served at Normandy as well

Hear hear Dave, it wobe good to have these sort of reference builds available even if transfered to a different board in the Scratchbuild section. It is amazing the inspiration I have received from looking at the Admiral's work and many others. Hope your health improves soon Admiral, too many ships left for you to show us how to build!
